  • Status Report #1

    This is the first status report about the project. I figured that it makes a lot of sense having one. These status reports will be made every 2 weeks if worthwhile to do so.

    Current activities:

    Writing Unittest [andre]
    ------------------------
    * Milstone Target: 0.1.4
    * Status: Hacking

    82 out of aprox 130 are done. The unit-test will execute test on the main core of JCast-X, not every class is getting a unit-test. The ones tested are always the AbstractXXX implementation of the core interface, the XXXController, the XXXFactory. Once finished we will have a good basis of unit-tests to further detail out. Plus we have a great tool to capture change-bugs when they occur.

    General code enhancements [andre]
    ---------------------------------
    * Milstone Target: none
    * Status: waiting for unit-tests to complete

    I know that I should wait with those until the unit-tests are completed, but... I just couldnt wait, plus I will be extra carefull with CVS commits. So far only AbstractChannelThread has gone through a re-structre.

    Working on OGG streams [dave]
    -----------------------------
    * Target Milstone: none
    * Status: Planning + Design

    I have an email from dave saying that he already managed to get JCast-X to actually stream OGG files. The problem so far is the sound quality. So Dave went to further investigate on Java+OGG Vorbis streams.

    Other Project News
    ------------------

    * Coding guidelines online
    I finally put together a rough code-style guide. Every hacker interested in submitting code should read it.

    * Development Process online
    The JCast-X homepage now has a paper about the way how this projekt tries to make the software grow without loosing quality too much.

    * Release Process online
    This shows the steps we take when the next milestone is around the corner.

    Thats all folks, and remember:
    "The way is the aim."

    Take care,
    Andre

  • Homepage update + Extras.

    The homepage has been updated with a new layout. Plus there are a lot of more informations available now. Code-Guidlines and a Development process have been added. Every intersted developer should read both. The development process is well integrated with the SourceForge "tracker" tool. Changemanagement and Reviews are now tracked. I would apreciate any feedback on the new topics.

  • Quick release 0.1.3.3

    New package available as soon as download servers catch up (1 hour). This is only the fix for the f**ed up .tar.gz one version earlier. Hope extracting works now.
